M. Hedgpeth, associate University physician. The sickness is a gastrointes tinal upset caused by a bacillus and is manifested by diarrhea, nausea and vomiting. So far, no one has been acutely ill with the trouble and in most cases, it has cleared up after two Graham Discusses War Situation Before Campbell College Group International Relations Club Hears President Speak on "Seven-! teen Years After; Speaker Stresses Irony of Cele brating Peace During War Proceedings ECONOMIST or this ductions are not good .for performance.

"Tooth or Shave" depicts the strange customs of the village of El Carmin, Mexico.

Miss Winslow uses the music of the great masters for her dancers. Now, you, little girl, the one on the end you move back to the next row. There's more room there and you're not so liable to slip off. Isn't that bet ter?" A little head jerked up and down in approval and Dr. Frank Graham smiled.

Student ' Peace Federation NIEBUHR'S LECTURES Reinhold Niebuhr was here Sun day. - ' i-' Speaking . at three different meetings on "The Worship of Demons and the Worship of God," "World Conditions," and "Living in a Chaotic World," he gave campus thinkers a stimu lus that still has them gathered in bull sessions trying to digest all of his thoroughy pertinent re marks. Upon problems which they had sought blindly to solve from the limited scope of their own ex perience and knowledge, he threw the clear light of his op inions, giving them many guid in'g hints,' but above all, in spite of the general pessimism of his realistic remarks, introducing a note of encouragement into his thinking. There follows a resume of his three lectures. The tall blue-eyed speaker had been nervously stroking his broad expanse of forehead dur ing the preliminary exercises of the morning program. When he was at last called upon to speak, all the nervous energy of his vi tal personality was transmitted into the overpowering flow of words all electrified with ideas. It was like a stream bursting, its dam, immersing all in its way in a flood; of thought. There were no time-wasting introductory remarks from Nie buhr, such as "I'm happy to be here," or. "I hope you will not hold it against me that I am a Yankee." He went right to the subject of his talk, "The Wor ship of Demons and the Worship of God." , "You must have one element of faith," began the speaker. "The faith that life has mean ing." And in his thorough, di rect way, Niebuhr set about ex posing the "demons," the false gods which, men worship to find the meaning of life. . jreupie set up goods as (Continued on last page) In collaboration with the gen-- eral peace program which the National Federation of Students is carrying on throughout the country, prominent members of the North Carolina Federation Committee on Peace yesterday conducted a brief broadcast over Raleigh's station WPTF on the peace movement and its relation to college students. Presiding over the broadcast, Jack Pool, president of the Uni versity student body, delivered a short introductory speech. "The .North Carolina Federation of Students," he said "is more truly representative of college students as a whole than any other, student organization in the state."- In conclusion :" War in Europe seems inevitable. The United States must not be drawn into the mess. The young men of America are too valuable to waste in a squabble between self ish nations." - ' ; . - ' Other Speakers Pool then introduced the other speakers. Phillips Russell, anoth er prominent student at the Uni versity, spoke on "Practical Stu dent Ideas Jand Ideals." "Stu dent Opinion on War" was ably represented by - Meredith Col lege's Margaret Hines. Zack Thomas, president of Duke's stu dent body, covered "Student Peace Movement Today."

With the time rapidly draw ing near for the German Club's annual fall frolic, plans have just been completed for what members of the group expect to be one of the biggest and best dance sets ever staged on the University campus. The festivities, will provide ample celebration for those stu dents who choose to remain here while others trek homeward to help carve the Thanksgiving turkey. Following classes Wed nesday, November 27, Univer sity students will receive the usual four-day Thanksgiving vacation. Formal Ball The German Club plans to lose . no time in starting things.

SENATE RESOLUTIONS CAMPUS KEYBOARD Yesterday afternoon the Stud- ent Advisory Committee was hashing over the proposed fee centrallization plan which this newspaper has been sponsoring of late. The barriers of admin istrative detail were easily climb ed after a little serious thought, but the fellows found themselves pretty effectively stymied when j it came to policy control. The proposed system, you might remember, substituted a central activities fee administra tive committee for the various independent boards which now administer the various funds.

" : The second, bill for discussion is "Resolved that comprehensive exams for Seniors be abolished." Meeting begins at 7:15 p. m. ELISHA MITCHELL SOCIETY known much about student acti vities. And the student body is even further detached from what happens behind the activi ties scene. Boiled down, there didn't seem to be much sense in setting up a new fee dispensation plan which would recognize the stu dent body's interest if that in terest simply didn't exist. So the well-worn phrase about "what was good enough for pappy is good enough for me" came in handy and the fellows adjourned. Whether student body slug gishness in such matters results from innate lack of interest or whether it emanates from lack pf responsibility or whether it is part of a vicious circle embody ing both reasons is the question which pops up its ugly head on any progressive move based on student co-operation. We kind of agree with the Student Advisory Committee's informal opinion that the vicious circle is circling and doing a darned good job on the ; outside loop. P. G. H. 3 1 I r i,. ! I II t
